Abandoned and underutilized textile mills, gas stations, drycleaners, factories and warehouses blight large and small communities across the country, crippling local economic development efforts. The redevelopment of these properties is often hampered by real or perceived environmental contamination. Since 1995, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken an active role in addressing the problem of brownfields in America’s communities. The agency provides a range of funding programs for environmental assessment and cleanup activities to local governments and non-profits. When combined with other incentives and resources, these grant programs become powerful tools for local governments leading redevelopment efforts in their communities.

Cardno partners with local governments to solve challenging brownfields problems. Our teams assists communities with managing every aspect of brownfield programs from grant writing, to assessment, to cleanup, through redevelopment. Our team includes engineers, geologists, scientists, ecologists, archeologists, surveyors, urban planners, landscape architects, community outreach specialists, and other staff to support your Brownfield program throughout the brownfield redevelopment process — from Concept to Construction.
